There are many different types of engineering and Mechanical engineering is one of the most fascinating fields. Mechanical engineering is further divided in various sub fields like: – Combustion, Acoustics, Robotics, Automatic Control, Manufacturing and Maintenance, System and Control etc. The basic task of mechanical engineers is to design and develop new systems and technologies that can be used to extend our physical abilities and simplify our lives.

A Mechanical engineer is responsible for a lot of things in our daily life like: –

Designing a safety harness for rides in amusement parks

Functionality of solar panels on a space telescope

Designing and development of surgical robots to improve the process

Development of carbon fiber prosthetic blades for high speed running

Major achievements in the field of mechanical engineering: –

Wind and Water Turbines

Steam Engines
